‎This series is still one of the best thrillers out. Eddie Redmayne as The Jackal is just perfect; cold, calm, and too good at what he does.

‎Season 2 is more intense, the chase with Bianca is crazier, and every episode keeps you on edge. My only issue is some scenes feel a bit dragged.

‎Hope you guys are prepared to watch Season 2 when it drops? Team Jackal or Team Bianca; where do you stand?

I’m yet to finish watching all the seasons, but this show is so good that I just had to come here and share.

It got me thinking… if someone committed a crime many years ago and has since moved on to live a good life, is it fair to disrupt that life years later? Must justice always be served, no matter how much time has passed, or are there cases where the past should be left in the past? Or does it depend on the crime?

One thing I love about this show is the storytelling. It’s so good at making you believe someone is the criminal simply because that’s who they want you to suspect. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, you start suspecting almost everyone.

Well, enough said. Add Unforgotten to your watchlist. You can thank me later.

But first, tell me: Should justice have an expiration date?

‎I recently finished The Day of the Jackal, and overall, I thought it was a very good series. But honestly, the whole Rasmus storyline didn't work for me. The Jackal first meets Rasmus while scouting the Tallinn venue, later reconnects with him and sleeps with him, building enough trust to gain access to the venue. He eventually gets the building plans through Rasmus, which helps him prepare for his assassination attempt on UDC.

‎

‎Then everything goes wrong. A second shooter disrupts the Jackal's attempt, forcing him to escape. Rasmus spots him and follows him, and suddenly becomes a liability because he can identify him. The Jackal kills him and moves on, which shows just how cold and calculated he is. To him, trust, intimacy and people's emotions are simply tools to complete a mission. Once someone becomes a threat, they're expendable.

‎

‎I understand why the writers included the storyline, it shows another side of how far the Jackal is willing to go to deceive people. But personally, I felt the story could have made the same point without spending so much time on the Rasmus scenes. That said, the series was still solid, and Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of the Jackal was impressive.

‎

‎What do you think? Did the Rasmus storyline add something important to the character, or could the story have worked just as well without it?

If you don’t mind watching movies that aren’t necessarily feel-good, then Homebound is one I’d recommend.

This movie made me so emotional. I shed a couple of tears, and honestly, it left me with a lot to think about.

One thing that stood out to me was how much discrimination people experience in different aspects of life, sometimes in ways we don’t fully understand or even realize. It also made me reflect on how COVID affected people who found themselves stranded in places far away from their families, with little or no support.

Yes, the lockdowns were necessary to help contain the virus, but the reality is that many people were caught in situations they weren’t prepared for, and some of them had to bear the consequences in ways we may never fully understand.

I think sometimes we get so caught up in our own experiences that we forget how differently other people experience the same situations.

All in all, Homebound was a really good watch. It’s emotional, thought-provoking, and the kind of movie that stays with you even after the credits roll.

Definitely one to watch if you’re in the mood for something meaningful.

There are actually some really interesting international shows out there, and Public Enemy was a good watch.

It follows a serial killer and really makes you think about the whole idea of second chances.

Do you believe a serial killer should ever be given a second chance?

Well, I wonder how you’ll feel about your answer after watching this one.

Definitely an interesting watch if you enjoy suspense and stories that make you question your own opinions.

My people, I have come with another recommendation

If you like solving crimes and trying to guess who is guilty, you would love this one.

It keeps you guessing because honestly, it could be EVERYONE lol.

I really enjoyed the suspense, the storyline, the acting, and the fact that no one was truly a superhero. Everyone felt so real and flawed, which made it even more interesting to watch.

If you haven’t seen Mare of Easttown yet, you should definitely add it to your list. The ratings speak for themselves.

Boy, was I impressed with Season 2.

The drama, the plot twists, and especially the change in the main character, I honestly wasn’t expecting it.

Lol, I don’t subscribe to all the violence, but I can’t lie, it definitely made for an interesting watch.

Has anyone else seen Season 2? What did you think?

There’s just something about crime shows that gets me every single time.

From the beginning right to the end, I’m always trying to figure out who the culprit is. And for me, the best ones are the shows that leave you second-guessing everyone. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, they throw in another twist and you’re confused all over again.

I honestly didn’t think I was going to enjoy Defending Jacob, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not a 10/10 show but the storyline was solid, the suspense kept building, and in the end, it all came together really well.

I’d definitely say I enjoyed it.

Have you watched this yet? And if you have, who do you think committed the crime?

I really think Severance had the potential to be a great show.

I absolutely loved Season 1. I practically binged it because every episode left me wanting more, and I couldn’t wait for Season 2 to finally drop.

Then came Season 2…

I honestly feel like they lost the plot. The mystery that had me so invested in the first season just didn’t come together for me. Instead of getting answers, I was left even more confused, and not in a good way. By the time I got to the ending, I just wasn’t satisfied.

Maybe it’s just me, but I expected so much more after such a strong first season.

That’s my take on Severance. Has anyone else watched it? Did you enjoy Season 2, or am I the only one who feels like it went off track?

I’m looking for recommendations. 😊

What are some really good Indian movies you’ve watched recently?

I’m open to any genre romance, thriller, comedy, action, or drama. I’d love to add a few great ones to my watchlist.

If you’re looking for a light, easy-to-watch mystery series that still keeps you guessing, I’d definitely recommend Ludwig.

It strikes a nice balance between clever storytelling, humor, and suspense without feeling too heavy or overcomplicated. It’s the kind of show you can comfortably binge and genuinely enjoy.

There’s only one season so far, but I really enjoyed it and I’m already looking forward to the next one. Definitely worth adding to your watchlist.

There’s something about classic Indian romance films that today’s movies just can’t seem to replicate.

I feel like many of the newer actors, actresses, and storylines just don’t capture the same depth of emotion and magic. While there are still some good films, they often don’t leave the same impact.

This, however, remains one of the best I’ve watched. The emotions felt genuine, the performances were outstanding, the storyline was beautifully written, the production was excellent, and the soundtrack was unforgettable. Every element came together perfectly.

Some movies entertain you, but this one makes you feel.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Bureau (Le Bureau des Légendes). From the writing to the acting, everything felt incredibly realistic and well-executed.

What I appreciated most was that the agents weren’t portrayed as flawless superheroes. They were human, capable, intelligent, but still vulnerable to mistakes. That made the characters and their decisions feel authentic and believable.

The suspense kept me hooked, and every episode left me eager to see what would happen next.

Rating: 9/10. A smart, gripping spy thriller that I’d definitely recommend.

I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this show as much as I did. It took a while to get going, and I only really got invested after Episode 6, but once it picked up, it was definitely worth the watch.

One thing I will say is that I didn’t really sympathize with most of the women in the story. Going through a bad situation doesn’t always justify making bad choices, and that made it hard for me to root for some of them.

I also felt like the ending could have been clearer—it left me with a few questions. But without giving away any spoilers, I’d still say it’s a solid watch and one I’d recommend if you’re patient enough to get through the slow start.

I feel like this show had the potential to be great, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to it.

Season 1 was decent, it laid the groundwork for the story, so I’ll give it credit for that.

Season 2 was where things really picked up. The storyline was engaging, well-paced, and kept me glued to the screen.

Season 3, however, was a mess. It felt as though the writers changed, or there wasn’t enough thought put into connecting the storylines and maintaining the quality established in the previous season. The plot felt disjointed, and a lot of things just didn’t make sense.

At this point, I don’t think I’d continue watching if a Season 4 were released. The show started with so much promise, but for me, it lost its way.
